lolz i think it might be called lyles actually!!!

As in tate and lyles! lol I knew what we were talkin about, and it does have a picture of a lion on it! :-o

Its the same people that make the golden syrup int the green tins, just the red tin one!!!! So whatever its called thats the one he's talking about, has anyone else ever used this? Camsocool has had some good results, anyone else?

Here's the link to the UK ebay store who sells Grandmas molasses...

Growwww....Use 1 teaspoon per litre if youre mixing small amounts or 1 tablespoon per Gal.
ALWAYS flush your plants every few applications of molasses or the soil/compost will turn into toffee.

justr done some searching for you and Lyle + tate treacle (the black stuff) is what youre lookin for but i cant find out if its +/- sulphur.

Yeh definitely i was looking before it says. If it means i have to flush more than i cant. Coz i will get a ph problem or something and i just dont have enough water oh well. Hope u do it and get beaut buds.
Peace

would it say on the tin whether its got sulfur in or not do you think???
Ok i've done some more digging online, and pretty much drew a blank...
But then i asked my wife about it (she loves making treacle toffee)and she's just presented me with a tin of Lyles TREACLE...
It DOES contain sulphur Dioxide, as is indicated on the label...therefore dont use it for a molasses substitute.
see pic...

i have been using meridian organic blackstrap molasses from holland and barrett for around 18 months and my plants have improved in weight, taste and quality.
